धृतराष्ट्र–संजय संवादः: कर्ण–घटोत्कचयोर्निशायुद्धवर्णनम्
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Sañjaya Dialogue: Description of the Night Engagement of Karṇa and Ghaṭotkaca
महाप्रभावा बहवस्त्वया तुल्याधिकाडपि वा
mahāprabhāvā bahavas tvayā tulyādhikāḍ api vā
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಮಹಾಪ್ರಭಾವಿಗಳಾದ ಅನೇಕರು ಇದ್ದಾರೆ—ಕೆಲವರು ನಿನಗೆ ಸಮಾನರು, ಕೆಲವರು ನಿನ್ನಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಅಧಿಕರು ಕೂಡಾ।
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
Power and excellence are not unique to any one person; recognizing that others may be equal or superior encourages humility, careful judgment, and ethical restraint in leadership—especially in the context of war.
Sañjaya, narrating events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, makes a pointed observation about the presence of many mighty warriors, some comparable to the addressed person and some even greater—framing the battlefield reality and tempering overconfidence.
